Tips for Bermed Corners in Mountain Biking

Video Transcript

MICKEY DENONCOURT: You just flattened out this rutted corner. Take it on the inside, use as much grass as I could to get the most exit speed possible, prepare for the next corner. Sometimes, you're tired. It's rainy, especially if it's wet. The rut's going to be the most supported part of a trail. You want to be in it. It's going to be more consistent, all that good stuff. So, as I ride the rut, I can't be as aggressive over the front of my bike. I can't really force it into the ground like I did with the flat corner, instead, I have to sort of feel lightly through the handle bars. I have to feel how the rut wants to take me and stuff like that. I'm going to have to set up farther to the inside to get to this rut and it's going to take me out over here farther to the outside, closer to the street. It's still in good line. It's just an optional line. And if I was looking to take every second through this corner, instead of taking this really nice rut that we've burnt in over the years. I probably come further to the inside here just to get that speed. Right here we go, now I'm going to ride the rut.
